Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, several new functional materials have been developed by using nano-size effects of host-guest compounds with controlled nanostructures. Tripodal ligands are found to be useful for the control of nanostructures of layered metal hydroxides. Layered double hydroxides as adsorbents for rapid removal of pollutants, highly active solid base catalysts, and novel nanosheet materials whose constituent elements and surface functional groups are independently controllable have been developed using tripodal ligands. By assembling silica nanoparticles, superlattice of nanospace and porous materials with single-crystalline quartz framework have also been prepared. These materials are expected to be useful for applications in catalysis, energy storage, and environmental purification (separation and adsorption).
